View Poll Results: What screening method combination would you prefer?

My apologies to you both. I wasn't intending that to be taken like it was. I was trying to say that streaker69 was new to the board, not necessarily new to the Wifi security scene, and this "waiting period" could be utilized to search the board instead of posting questions that have very simple answers to if the n00bs would just use "search" button. I should have made myself more clear by saying n00bs to the board. And yes Mother, my safety is on...awaiting your fire command. Just ask and it shall be done.

No offense taken at all. Just playing around. I've spent the past few days reading through these forums, so not only am I familiar with the types of questions we see here, but the regular posters and their personalities.

Always. and some extra characters to make my post a minimum of 10 characters long

A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

Mother. I havent noticed ANY SPAM lately. Have you done something diffrent?

Well...apart from the three day waiting period before posting in other places than the newbie area, and during the first 15 posts not being able to include URLs? Nothing much, really...it seems spam bots get bored and move on.

I understand why you need to have the "15 posts before you can post links" rule but could this be modified to just external links as it makes helping people not as easy as just directing them to where their question has been answered before.

Not that my opinion matters much but I think its a good rule. The fact is ever since the extra precautions were put in place the anoyances have all but vanished. still a idiot or two but like I stated in a previous post I love having my morning coffee and reading the lastest member of the idiot corners thread. For me the reason for linking is so that a new person can get a feel for the site and what is and isnt acceptable before they start linking to all kinds of crazy hacker sites , raunchy porn , nazies and so on
